The improvements under this contract consisted of reconstruction of roadway on US-19 (SR 55) from north of Whitney Road to north of SR 60 in Pinellas County, Florida. This project included structures (bridges and retaining walls), storm sewer construction, signing and pavement markings, lighting, signalization, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and numerous utility relocations. A large portion of the utility work was performed as part of a Utility Work By Highway Contractor Agreement (UWHCA). The utility improvements included over one mile of 48” water main, a portion of which had to be installed by micro-tunnel methods under Allen Creek connecting to upper Tampa Bay.
